Overkill - Former Guitarist Criticizes New Live Release
Drama seems abound these last few days. Recently, Overkill announced a new live album. However, the thrashers former guitarist, Bobby Gustafson, says that fans shouldn't buy the band's upcoming Live In Overhausen DVD and Blu-Ray (which celebrates the Feel The Fire and Horrorscope albums) because he is "not getting a dime" from the release.
Gustafson played on the group's first four albums ? Feel The Fire (1985), Taking Over (1987), Under The Influence (1988) and The Years Of Decay (1989) ? before being fired in 1990 amid tension between him and bassist D.D. Verni.
Bobby posted on his personal Facebook page: "What are they celebrating: The fact that none of the other members even played on these albums. The fact that they will both make all the money and not the other three or the fact that they think they don't have to pay me. Don't buy this piece of shit, people. I'm not getting a dime."
Gustafson previously told Metal Rules that he was never officially asked to leave Overkill. "It wasn't something where they came out and said, 'Hey, you're fired!' It was more of a verbal fight between me and D.D. about doing a show where they wanted to do it strictly for money and I didn't want to do it because we had just sold out Studio 54 in New York, our biggest show, and they wanted to do a Halloween show that was kind of goofy," he claimed.
